Howe: Grateful to die-hards

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe has hailed the Cherries fans who made the trip to watch his side beat Carlisle in the FA Cup.

The Cherries ran out 3-1 winners at Brunton Park to set up a third-round clash with Premier League Wigan and Howe was quick to credit the die-hard supporters who made one of the longest trips in English football.

"To take that many supporters to Cumbria was just incredible, the support they gave the lads throughout was fantastic and they made a huge difference," he told the club's official website.
